[QUOTE]Originally posted by TwinStarRocket: [QB] From what I read in the news lately, the prevailing wisdom among economists is that job creation needs to take priority over deficit reduction, for the short term at least. And they say the Republicans will be willing to go along with it for the "honeymoon". Investments in infrastructure and clean energy will probably be Obama's preference for where jobs are created. He also appears to think long term, which is refreshing for a politician. Rail fits into this very neatly, with opportunities for a socialist plan that can create private sector jobs. Obama's transportation policy statement (thanks, Mr. Toy) makes me very hopeful. Of course I realize that expansion of passenger rail is no more likely than a black one-term senator becoming president, or a Republican governor of California wanting to raise taxes. I'm siding with the optimists on this one. I think "that one" is going to look at Amtrak and say "yes we can". [/QB][/QUOTE]
